We recently received the below testimonial from one of our patients and are thrilled to report her positive results from a Cervical Disc Replacement procedure with our own Dr. Janssen.

I am grateful every day that I choose Dr. Janssen for my Cervical Disc Replacement. I now have a titanium disc in my cervical spine between C6-C7. I had my surgery in 2009, when the titanium disc replacement was just beyond being experimental.

I now have complete range of movement in my neck regained, pain-free! Dr. Janssen is a brilliant Surgeon. I did a tremendous amount of research prior to choosing him. The surgery and recovery was flawless and painless. Seriously, I am still amazed. The only slight disappointment I had was being told after surgery I would feel brand new without restrictions or pain. My recovery took a bit longer and I believe in part due to a nerve needing to mend after the blown disc was detached from a nerve during surgery. I would say it took 2-3 years for the nerve pain to recover completely, but today I have no residual side effects and am forever in awe that I even have titanium in my neck.

I regret waiting 10 years experiencing on-again, off again agonizing pain before I was brave enough to have surgery, if I hadn’t waited so long, the disc wouldn’t have become completely blown out and attached to a nerve.
